Pink Tide

Nottingham Free School | 10.01.2010 15:02 | Globalisation | Social Struggles

The Pink Tide team invite you to a workshop at Sumac at 6-8pm to be facilitated by Leroy Moore and Lisa 'tiny' Gray-Garcia of The PeopleSkool at Poor Magazine, US. The workshop
will be entitled: The Revolution Begins With "I" a revolutionary media production seminar.

They are over in Nottingham as part of a three day conference, >'The Pink Tide: reconfiguring politics, power and political economy in the Americas?' organised by the Centre for the Study of Global and Social Justice, University of Nottingham.

The PeopleSkool at POOR Magazine presents:

The Revolution Begins With "I" a revolutionary media production seminar

The Revolution begins with "I" ( and then becomes "we"). Constructing
your history; creating your biography as a personal and political
process. This is a media training that puts the power of authorship,
media production and publishing in the hands of silenced peoples
struggling with poverty, migration, disability, racism and other forms
of oppression. Media itself is expanded/ redefined to include poetry,
story, visual art, message, grafitti, hip hop, music, as well as
multi-media journalism. This workshop is facilitated by poverty scholars
who themselves have struggled with multiple forms of oppression,
poverty, racism, and disability who believe that we as poor people need
to be writing our own stories, authoring our own media and reclaiming
our own voices.

Each workshop participant who completes a piece will be published in
PoorNewsNetwork on-line, an international on-line network of media
producers in poverty. We will also speak on corporate media infiltration
tactics for community orgs who are seeking to place stories.

Here is their press release:
